80s Tribute Acts in Coventry

Book an 80s tribute band in Coventry

From function rooms at hotels around Coventry and Kenilworth to golf and social clubs near Nuneaton, and marquees going up in back gardens across Coventry, an 80s tribute act in Coventry can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations all suit an 80s tribute act — and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.

80s pop is party music by design: big choruses, synths and power ballads that everyone sings along to, which is why an 80s night is one of the most-booked tribute themes for milestone birthdays. Our 80s tribute acts cover Queen, the Pet Shop Boys, Wham!, Duran Duran, Billy Joel and the synth-pop and power-ballad hits of the decade, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include Classic Queen, The Essential Pet Shop Boys, The Essential Billy Joel, Rocktail Party, LA Heat!, The Essential 80's, 80s House Party and Essentially Cher.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Coventry as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Parties in Coventry range from black-tie nights at venues such as Wethele Manor to relaxed celebrations at St Mary's Guildhall or Cheylesmore Manor House, and plenty more in hotels and clubs around Coventry and Kenilworth. Every act listed here travels to Coventry, so you can choose on the show rather than the postcode.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The right line-up depends on the room and the budget more than the guest list. Solo tributes perform to professional backing tracks, need very little floor space and are the most affordable option. A duo or full live band brings real instruments, more volume and more of a concert feel, which suits a larger hall or a bigger crowd. Tell us about the venue and we'll point you towards what fits.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the day and the time of year making up the rest of the difference — a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer or December. Your quote sets out exactly what's included, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote to see prices and availability immediately. When you've picked your act, we take care of the contract, deposit and arrangements, and keep in touch right up to the party. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking and an emergency contact line on the night.

FAQs

Artist tributes such as Queen and the Pet Shop Boys, head-to-head shows like Wham! versus Duran Duran, and 80s party bands playing the whole decade's biggest hits.

Very — an 80s night is one of the most popular party themes, and plenty of guests will turn up in costume to match the act.

Yes — a marquee or a large room at home is a common setting, and a solo tribute in particular needs very little space. The same act can just as easily play a hotel function room or a social club the next weekend.

Usually, yes. Solo and duo tributes need only a small performance area and a standard power supply; for a full band, tell us the room and we'll check the line-up fits comfortably.

Typically £500 to £2,000, depending mainly on whether it's a solo tribute or a full live band, and on the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.
